I am Toby Meek and my main racing pedigree comes from BMX racing where I raced at world championships level for five years. Being a December birthday I was always the youngest in my category I had to work harder but I always came in the top third of my age group. In Hong Kong, I grew up racing riders much older than me to help improve my skill-level and challenge me more.

I am current U15 US Open MTB No.3 and NZ3 for U15 downhill racing. I am also Oceania No.2 U15. During my bmx racing years I was sponsored by Thrill Bikes. Now racing downhill mountain biking, my sponsors are Pro Bike Shop, MeekBoyz, MTB Mag Asia and Loose Riders Global Alliance.

I currently race on a 26 full-carbon, dual-pivot, Meekboyz MegaBeast bike. I first started racing at age 5 and always made the NZ finals for my age group. Aged 8, I won NZ4 for my age group even though I was the youngest in the year group.

Aside from travelling and racing with my family, I love to jump and I mean JUMP! My father made a purpose-built jump park near our Hong Kong home so that I could learn to jump with high technical skill. The park has table tops, gap jumps and an airbag. I love sending it high and far. Nico Vink of Loose riders is my main inspiration.

Last Easter, I went to Queenstown determined to clear all of Dream Line jump line. I had seen on Instagram that Jackson Goldstone made seven of the nine mega jumps. When I got there and saw the last two jump spans I could see why. They were huge. I spent the morning picking my way down Dream Line and as I got closer to the big ones I realised I could jump those too. I got them both my first attempts. You can see it on my Youtube channel.

Aside from racing, I love aerial time and big air. I have competed in the invitational whip-off competition for the past two years at the US Open MTB. I like to send it, throwing whips, tuck no-handers, supermans and backflips. I was stoked to get my first backflip to dirt at Highland Bike Park this summer.

My dream is to travel and compete. I want to develop my freestyle big air capabilities and compete in slopestyle as well as downhill. For slopestyle riding, I ride a custom 24 titanium Meekboyz dirt-jumper.I just like to ride, whatever I am doing, whether it be my downhill rig, my dirt-jumper, my unicycle or my pro park scooter. I like to be on wheels and the free feeling that comes with it. I am always hacking about, trying out new tricks to progress my skill-set and I like to invent new tricks other people have not tried yet.
